I keep a physical compact notebook and add tasks for the following day from the previous day. I make sure to only add tasks that I feel I am capable of completing the next day, taking into account tasks I didn't have time to finish the current day. I also use it for general ideas, thoughts, etc. It keeps me from cycling everything in my mind and building anxiety. The book remembers for me, so when I run out of stuff to do, I flip it open and see what else I thought I should finish that day. The completion of small tasks and checking them off is a psychological reward system for me and keeps me completing things and using the book. In the past, I would generalize and just remember that I had to work on some grand task or concept, and I would always be disappointed and frustrated. But by breaking them down into little daily tasks, I get a lot more done and I feel positive about it.
